Amir of the Islamic State in Iraq and Al-Sham

Name: Abu Dua, Ibrahim bin Awad bin Ibrahim Al-Badri Al-Radawi Al-Husseini Al-

Bu'Badri) Al-Radawiya Al-Husayniyya Al-Hasimiyyah Al-Qurayshiya Al-Nizariya Al-
Adnaniya.

He is a former teacher and educator and a well known preacher, and a graduate from the
Islamic University in Baghdad and he studied in it the academic levels (Bachelor,
Masters and PhD) he was known as a preacher and erudite in Islamic culture, and Sharia
knowledge and Fiqh, and an expert in the sciences of history and noble lineage, and he
has a wide relations and clear impact on the members of his tribe in Diyala and Samarra
until they declared on a fully voluntary and total certainty their Baya'a to the Islamic
State of Iraq and its first Amir (Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi Al-Qurayshi) when they gave
Baya'a to the Amir and the State in the beginning of its establishment and appearance on
the Jihadi arena in Iraq in the official deceleration in the last ten days of the month of
Ramadan 2006. It is known that Dr. Ibrahim Awad is from the most prominent figures of
Al-Salafiya Al-Jihadiya and one of its most famous theorists in Diyala and in the city of
Samarra in the mosque of Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal rahimahullah. He is a man from a
religious family. His brothers and uncles include preachers and professors of Arabic
language, rhetoric and logic. Their Aqeeda is Salafiya. His father sheikh Awad is from
the elders of Al-Bu'Badri tribe, he loves the religion, and from the callers to decency and
virtue and from the supporters of promoting of virtue and preventing of vice, and his
grandfather Haj Ibrahim Ali Al-Badri is a man known of his persistency on
congregational prayer, and being good to his kin, and keenness to the needs of the modest

families, and Haj Ibrahim died a few years ago in the post occupation era after he lived
long in this Dunya in obedience and being good to his kin and good deeds, and Allah
with His grace and favor prolonged the life of late Haj until he almost reached 95 years
old. The absence of an audio or video recording for Dr. Abu Dua isn't because of his lack
of rhetoric or weak language or something like that, this is not true because the man is
has an eloquent speech and strong language, and has an obvious acumen and smartness
so he combined between two characteristics of the former Amirs of the State when he
combined the calmness and leisureliness of Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi and his high security
sense, and took much of the cleverness and courage of Abu Ayub Al-Masri.

The security and military experience of Dr. Abu Dua increased by practice in the past
eight and half years of fighting and attack and retreat. He incited on fighting and he
himself fought then he was captured and released, he engaged in many battles, and
established Jamaats and participated in establishing others and supported it then he joined
Majlis Shura Al-Mujahidin and the Islamic State of Iraq as a member of the Majlis Al-
Shura, until he became in the official declaration of the State in 16 May 2010 as Amir of
the Islamic State of Iraq, and he didn't reach that status except by passing through several
stages until he was worthy for that post.

In the beginning he worked with several of his companions in establishing Jamaat Jaish
Ahli Sunnah wa Al-Jamaah that was active in particular in the provinces of Diyala,
Samarra and Baghdad, and head the Sharia Committee of the Jamaat, this Jamaat later it
gave Baya'a and joined Majlis Shura Al-Mujahidin one week after it was declared, and
then Dr. Abu Dua joined the Sharia Committees of the Majlis and he became a member
of the Majlis Al-Shura, and after the declaration Islamic State of Iraq he became the
General Supervisor of the Sharia Committees of the Wilayahs and a member of the
Majlis Al-Shura of the Islamic State of Iraq also he has an obvious and influential role in
the Baya'a of some of the tribes of Samarra to Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi, and he
participated in the Baya'a of his tribe and its youth to the State, and as years passed it was
logical that Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi Al-Husseini Al-Qurayshi (Hamid Al-Zawi) to
succeed him, and there is no doubt in that because "Abu Mahmud" had a high security
sense, and he had his calculations and he expected all possibilities and recommended that
Dr. Abu Dua be his successor.

This biography has been collected to support and do justice to Amir Al-Baghdadi, whom
they criticized with sharp tongues, and forgot his ardor, determination and support for the
people of Syria with money and soul despite of the hardships, and send a copy to those
who do not know the people of jihad and their favor and significance.

So won't the people of theories who sit at home restrain their tongues from criticizing the
men of jihad???!!!
